Vladimir Karas(ValKaras)

Vladimir (Val) Karas has been a life long student of psycho-philosophy of living, and a devoted practitioner of many techniques enhancing personal evolution.

However, in his modest studious efforts he prefers seeing himself compared to a tiny bee that collects pollen from many different flowers to make its own honey.

Thus he is not a "follower" of any particular discipline or doctrine of the culture-market, while keeping an open mind for new ways of looking at things, and enjoying the challenge of pushing his own limits as a "mental athlete". Not that he is ready for a "mental Olympics", but he is happy for not being a "mental couch potato" merely reacting to the world with a "victim syndrome".

His favorite topics are generated from his out-of-the-box mind-style, dealing with personal sovereignty, de-hypnotizing from suggestive social influences, nurturing a happy "emotional climate", and self-healing.

Being a sort of an intellectual adventurer, he is freakishly fond of alternative history, including true human origin, as well as human hidden potential. Mystery of everything is his biggest passion.

Val is retired, married to his teenage sweetheart since 1964, with two mature kids who keep saying "they have never seen a better marriage". - Born in1944; the profile photo was taken at the age of 69.
